Rants on Cycling and on Life:
Photos of people and bicycles that pass in front of my camera

9.29.2009

great recovery from a somewhat comical crash

not sure how it happened... I only caught the impact itself

on the first lap Terri was hammering pretty hard it looks like she was trying to make a pass on the outside lineher choice of what path was met with what must have been a divot or a sink hole

she went over the handlebars and straight for the water

in an "I wish I had my camera set to video and pointed in that direction" sort of way I watchedI watched rather than record something worth of an intro from Bob Saggett

Terry went over the bars and landed in a rollher body moved in what looked like a yoga head standshe rolled forward and raised her feet to the sky with her legs bentwhen she got vertical her head went into the pond as if she were bobbing for apples

and well... she pulled her head out of the watergather her wits and her bike and got back into the race

My last "acrobatic" crash was gambrils this winter when we jumped into a SS ... thing. Went over a log and over the bars - rolled to my back to see a clydesdale type coming down on me. Was able to get an arm up to deflect him before I got burried.
